thomas jefferson jackson see astronomer in charge of the united - iates navy observa tory at marc island california a native of this city in a letter t relatives here professor see at the conclusion of a lcug article on the evolution of the solar sys tem says just as the earth never rotated very rap idly and has not been retarded appreciably by the effect of tidal friction so venus likewise has escaped retardation of axial nrtafon and still rotates in twenty-three hours twenty-one minutes as has been held j by observers since the day of cassini 1(107 accordingly it follows that the i-oudi ! tions of this planet are more like those of the earth than any other body of our sys tem j professor see claims the accepted the ories on cosmical evolution are vitiated by a false premise to the effect that planets have been detached from the sun by ac celeration of rotation when he matter of this globe was originally expanded into a nebula filling their orbits and rotating in the equilibrium under conditions of hy drostatic pressure professor see claims the reasoning on the shedding of planets and satellites un der the supposed influence of the acceler ated rotation of the relatively large cen tral bodies which govern their motion is now invalidated tardy fiance is jilted girl who waited at the church keeps suitor waiting boston mass jan 1.-'fwo mouths ago sliss sadie jeanette

of a lcug article on the evolution of the solar sys tem says just as the earth never rotated very rap idly and has not been retarded appreciably by the effect of tidal friction so venus likewise has escaped retardation of axial nrtafon and still rotates in twenty-three hours twenty-one minutes as has been held j by observers since the day of cassini 1(107 accordingly it follows that the i-oudi !

effect that planets have been detached from the sun by ac celeration of rotation when he matter of this globe was originally expanded into a nebula filling their orbits and rotating in the equilibrium under conditions of hy drostatic pressure professor see claims the reasoning on the shedding of planets and satellites un der the supposed influence of the acceler ated rotation of the relatively
